Leapfrogging (LF) is a recently developed optimization technique that initially places players in random spots in the feasible decision variable space. The approach to reach the global optimum is by "Leaping" the player ...

The purpose of this study was to cost optimize electrical part of IRES (Integrated Renewable Energy Systems) using HOMER and maximize the utilization of resources using MATLAB programming. IRES is an effective and a viable ...

Water Resources Engineering. Research was performed for the small military installation of Vance AFB to evaluate and optimize the current remediation Long-Term Monitoring Plan. Two shallow aquifer groundwater plumes ...

The scope of this research project was to operate suspended growth, continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) anaerobic digesters at the bench-scale level to evaluate improved operation techniques/methods and develop biokinetic ...

This thesis proposes an algorithm to optimize packet size in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). In this thesis, the packet size is adapted to maximize the communication performance through the automatic repeat request (ARQ) ...

Increasing concerns over global climate change due to greater amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere or ozone depletion etc. are leading engineers to address `environmental' impacts of industrial processes. Additionally, ...

This research is focused on developing a methodology to optimize processes for sustainability. To design a sustainable process that addresses economic, environmental and social concerns is a complex multiobjective problem. ...

Finding a shortest path in a network is a classical problem in discrete optimization. The systems underlying the network models are subjects to a variety of sources of uncertainty. The purpose of this thesis is to model ...
